What kind of sleeping position does the newborn use, which is more conducive to growth and development?
1, sleep on your stomach
Advantages: If you often let your baby sleep on his stomach, it may cause pressure on his chest and make his breathing more powerful. To a certain extent, it can effectively exercise the activity of the baby's chest and related muscles, and effectively enhance the baby's cardiopulmonary function. This sleeping position is especially suitable for babies to sleep directly after eating milk, so that once the milk overflows in the mouth, it can also flow out directly from the mouth without choking in the throat.
Disadvantages: sleeping on your stomach, mom and dad can't notice the baby's facial changes, which may delay the handling of some special circumstances. Moreover, the baby sleeps on his stomach, and once the parents do not observe it in time, the probability of sudden infant death will be great. Because the baby can't look up and turn around at this time and can't protect himself, it's easy to suffocate. Therefore, it is best not to sleep on your stomach for babies within 6 months.
Step 2 lie down and sleep
Advantages: when the baby sleeps on his back, his limbs can move freely, and with the help of his parents, he can exercise his muscles and bones, which is helpful to his development. Moreover, when the baby is lying down and sleeping, mom and dad can observe the baby's facial expressions in time and respond to emergencies in time.
Disadvantages: The baby's head and upper body occupy a large part of the body weight. If the baby lies flat for a long time, it will easily affect the air circulation in the trachea, resulting in a murmur in the baby's breathing. Moreover, the newborn's stomach and intestines are weak, and the problem of spitting milk often occurs after eating milk. If you lie down and sleep, it is likely to cause vomit to choke your baby.
Step 3 sleep on your side
Advantages: Keeping the baby in the wrong sleeping position can effectively relieve the baby's muscle tension and help the baby improve the quality of sleep. When the baby spits milk, it can flow out along the corners of the mouth in time, without choking the baby or affecting the baby's breathing.
Disadvantages: However, if you always let your baby sleep on one side, it will oppress your baby's ears. If you don't change your sleeping position for a long time, it may affect the development of your baby's facial bones and muscles, and even cause asymmetry on both sides of your face. And if the baby lies on the left side, it will oppress the stomach and easily cause the baby to spit milk.
What is the best posture for newborns to sleep? In fact, the baby sleeps better like this!
Choosing the right sleeping position for the newborn is not only beneficial to the development of the baby's musculoskeletal body, but also can effectively reduce the pressure on internal organs, effectively improve the baby's sleep quality, and then promote the baby's healthy development. However, for newborns, the cranial suture is not completely closed. If you keep sleeping, it may cause the baby's skull to deform. So the baby can't take a sleeping position for a long time.
In fact, the best sleeping position for newborns should be to help them turn over all the time, change their postures and change their sleeping positions, rather than fixing a posture all the time. This correct sleeping position is conducive to the baby's growth and development!
